ON FILM: Before the Curtain Rises

Charles talks with Jeffrey Mills, founder & director of the nonprofit Documentary Alliance, which is producing the film "Before the Curtain Rises," which documents the rise & fall of the Interstate Theatre chain in Texas. El Paso's Plaza and Palace (Alambra) Theatres were part of the chain, and the restoration of the Plaza Theatre plays a central role in the film. Jeffrey talks about why the movie theatre palaces were just as important to the movie-going experience as the movies themselves.
